GRAlN-SEPARATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 255,982, dated April 4,1882. Application filed June 17, 1881. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may cancer-n:

Be it known that we, PAUL P. HERBERG and PETER. H. CLAUSSEN, both of thetown of Gale, in the county of 'lrempealeau and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Grain-Separators, ofwhich the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to that class of machines in which the grain isseparated from its accompanying refuse by means of a blast and suitablescreens; and it consists of certain minor improvements, as hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents an elevation of oneside of a grainseparator having our improvements applied thereto. Fig. 2is a longitudinal vertical section through the-center of the machine andimprovements. Fig. 3 represents an enlarged side elevation of theelevator-head and sack holder, and Fig. 4 is a sectional plan of thesame.

A denotes the frame of the machine, arranged to support and accommodatethe several operatin g parts.

B is the hopper, into which the grain to be cleaned is shoveled.

areprcsents asliding gate in the hopper for regulating the feed of thegrain to the machine. D is the shoe, suspended between the sides of theframe by straps in the usual manner.

Q represents an elevator or conveyer box, which is not here specificallydescribed, as it is designed to make this the subject of aseparate-application. This elevator-box is pivotally and removablyattached at one end to the machine-frame, and the other or elevated endhas the ends of two ropes, R, attached to a roller, S. This roller S ispivoted to the top of the machine-frame, and is provided with aratchet-wheel, s, that engages with a pawl,j, for adjustably suspendingthe said e1evatorbox at any desired inclination.

The elevator is of a length to reach to a horizontal position with theroller S when raised for attaching a sack. The position ofthe ropes uwhen the elevator is thus raised is as seen in Fig.3. When in its lowerposition the ropes R will assume the angle shown in Fig. 1.

At the head ofthe elevator-box a sack-holder is arranged, which consistsof a square spout, T, into which the cleaned grain is dumped by thebuckets of the endless apron. As itis designed to make this sack-holderthe subject of a separate application,its peculiar construction is notnow set forth.

Having thus described our present improvements, what we claim thereinis- The combination, with a grain-separator and a grain-elevatorprovided with a sack-holder, of the ropes R, roller S, ratchet-wheel s,and pawlj for adjustably suspending the elevatorhead, substantially asset forth.

The above specification signed by us, in the presence of two witnesses,this 8th day of June, 1881.
